Lanolips: lanolin lip balms, from the 101 Ointment to new Milkshake Balms

Lanolips is an Australian skin care brand started in 2009 by Kirsten Carriol, whose idea came from time on her grandparents' sheep farm in South Australia. The whole range is built around lanolin, the rich, waxy substance from sheep's wool, which has been used in skin care for a very long time and is good at sealing moisture in. Its best-known product is the 101 Ointment Multipurpose Superbalm, a little tube that people use on lips, dry patches, cuticles and elbows, and the brand now sells lip balms and treatments, face care, and hand and body creams in shops around the world and through its own US store.

It suits anyone with dry or chapped lips, which is most of us once the heating goes on, and people who like one product that does several jobs. The brand's own claims are about hydration rather than anything medical, and its newest launch, the Ceramide Milkshake Balm, mixes 90% lanolin with ceramides and murumuru butter. One thing to know before you buy: lanolin comes from sheep's wool, so the products aren't vegan, and a small number of people find they react to lanolin, so patch test if you have sensitive skin.

What's worth a look

These were on the Lanolips US homepage when we checked, all at $13.50:

The 101 Ointment Multi-Balm comes in three new festive flavours this season: Cherry Chocolate, Cinnamon Roll and Toffee Apple, each a limited edition and an easy stocking filler. The Ceramide Milkshake Balms are the new arrival, in flavours such as Strawberry Bubble, Raspberry Crumble and Caramel Melt, and they're creamier than the classic ointment. Because they're all the same price, it's easy to make up a small set of three or four as a present, and a tube slips into a coat pocket or handbag, so it's the kind of present that actually gets used through the winter.

Beyond lip care, the homepage also points to the 101 Dry Skin Super Cream for hands and body, the Golden Dry Skin Salve, the Lip Heroes Day & Night Duo gift set, and a phone holder for the Sun Balm SPF lip balm.
